Electrical & Civil EPC

Power Substation Installation

Turnkey 33/11 kV substations up to 2×5 MVA — design, supply, erection, testing and commissioning, including all associated civil works.

Voltage range11 kV – 220 kV

Ranisons has delivered 33/11 kV power substations on a complete turnkey basis — taking a project from detailed engineering through to charging under utility supervision, with the associated civil works carried out in the same contract.

Our largest substation package to date was the 33/11 kV, 2×5 MVA substation at Jharkhand Mega Food Park, Getalsud, executed against work order JMFPPL/ELE/0413/02 at a contract value of ₹473 lakh, together with a separate ₹90 lakh package for the substation civil works.

Beyond greenfield installation, we have carried out shutdown-dependent rehabilitation work — including the health assessment and overhaul of two 16 MVA, 132/6.6 kV transformers for BCCL Dhanbad, and the replacement of protective relays in a live 220/132 kV substation.

Questions

Frequently asked

What substation capacities can Ranisons execute?

We have executed 33/11 kV substations up to 2×5 MVA on a turnkey basis, and have worked on systems from 415 V up to 220 kV including 220/132/33 kV grid substations.

Do you carry out the civil works as well?

Yes. We are registered for both electrical and civil construction, so control-room buildings, foundations and yard works are delivered in the same contract rather than subcontracted.

Are you licensed to work for Jharkhand utilities?

Yes. We hold Electrical Contractor's Licence JH/EC/1003 issued by the Government of Jharkhand and have executed work for JBVNL, JUSNL and JSEB.
